Joaquim Valente Is a Millionaire in His Own Right—How His Net Worth Compares to Gisele Bündchen & Tom Brady
The announcement that former Victoria’s Secret model Gisele Bundchen is having a baby with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, has prompted a wave of curiosity over Valente. Bundchen and Valente have been dating since June of 2023 but were friends for a long time before they started dating, and reports indicate Bundchen has “blossomed” in her relationship with the jiu-jitsu coach.
Valente and Bundchen first met because of her son, as Bundchen confirmed in an interview with Dust Magazine in 2021. “It’s actually because of my son that I met Joaquim,” Bundchen explained. “I have a friend who told me about the Valente brothers and their martial arts school, and since I wanted to steer my almost teenage son in the right direction, I thought he might be interested in this.”

Indeed, Valente and his brothers Pedro and Gui together own the Valente Brothers, a jiu-jitsu academy whose mission is to “raise the physical confidence and overall wellness of students of all ages by teaching a complete and efficient self-defense skill set within a safe, clean, positive and respectful environment.” Their main location is in North Miami Beach.
Valente is also trained in boxing and judo and graduated with a degree in criminology from Barry University. In 2007, Valente received his professor title in jiu-jitsu.
Considering his own business, Valente’s net worth is surprisingly more than some people might have expected. But what is Joaquim Valente’s net worth and how does it compare to Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady?
